Reader Question: When you're out in public and you spot someone attractive, what's the best way to approach them? -Chelsea
Dallas: Just basically walk up and say, "Hi, how ya doin'," introduce yourself, just start small talk. In my case, since we're in different cities all the time, I'd ask "Are you from here?", "Where are you from?", "Are you working for the venue?" or whatever.

Reader Question: How do girls tell if a guy wants to kiss her? -Lauren
Dallas: Just a lot of eye contact. Wow, this is a hard question. I just normally look for the right moment and just plant it on her. If she pulls away, then she pulls away.

Reader Question: Are there specific things that will make a guy remember a girl, that will make her special from others? -Rachel
Dallas: Definitely, I love flirty girls. I think a girl who is really flirty and a girly girl and is real cute. How do I explain it...Girly girls are easier to go up to.

Reader Question: When a girl is interested in you, is it a turnoff to have her glancing at you then smiling and looking away? Or do you prefer her to skip all that stuff and just ask you out? -Rock
Dallas: No, I think it's very much a turn on to have her smiling and looking, because if she's smiling and looking I would more than happily step up and say hi.

Reader Question: Is there a way to distinguish whether or not a guy is lying or telling the truth? -Chantal
Dallas: I would just say trust your gut, your gut never lies. Guys will lie at any given instinct.

Reader Question: When do you know that a relationship has to end? -Dominique
Dallas: Basically when you find yourself not really wanting to talk to the person. And, you find yourself not wanting to associate with the person, and making excuses why you can't talk or you can't come over. That's when it's just time to end it.

Reader Question: I'm always shy in front of guys and can usually think of nothing to say. How can I overcome this? -Angie
Dallas: It's kind of the "try and try again" factor. If you talk to one guy and he doesn't really speak to you, then you just basically move to the next, somebody is eventually going to bite. You just kind of have to swallow it and just be yourself. You'll eventually find someone who is attracted to that.

Reader Question: How can you let a guy know that you like him without having him scared away? -LeAnn
Dallas: All you have to do is flirt.

Reader Question: I like a guy who seems no way interested in me. What do I do? I know he can make a great boyfriend. -Jonell
Dallas: In their case all you have to do is just ask him out.

Reader Question: Do guys think it is weird if a girl is 16 and hasn't been kissed? -Krista
Dallas: No, I wouldn't think so.

Reader Question: What is the right way to ask a guy out, without making your friends do it? -Sara
Dallas: I'm old fashioned, I think a guy should ask a girl out. I guess if she asks him out, you just do it. As you get older, you learn that you win some and lose some

Reader Question: When a guy pays for the date, does that mean he likes you, or is he just being polite? -Hope
Dallas: It depends on how much he pays for. If he takes you to taco bell, then it's not that great of a date, but when he takes you to a great fancy fancy restaurant and pays for a meal then he's obviously interested.

Reader Question: What does it mean when a guy says he'll call, but he doesn't? -Hope
Dallas: That basically means that he's not that interested, because in my case, I would probably call them the second they got home.

Reader Question: would it be wrong to date your brothers best friend? -Melissa
Dallas: Yeah, because you never mix. Your brother's best friend could become his enemy, because if he does something wrong, naturally your brother is going to take your side. It's just best not to get into that situation.
